V1
Candles in the window, garland on the hearth
As for Christmas decorations, I’m off to a good start
So why don’t I feel happy, if the season’s almost here
For although my house is ready, I’m not sure about my heart
V2
I long for Christmas of the past for loved ones who are gone
If it weren’t for the children Lord, don’t think I could go on.
Help me catch the magic of those days that fast have drifted by
And see the season once again through my children’s excited eyes
Chorus
Touch me, hold me, show me through your mercy
Fill me and uphold me
Help me to see clearly
The miracle of who You really are
V3
With simple great anticipation let me wait as children do
Not for gifts or Santa Claus, but only Lord for You
Let me stop for just a moment, to set some time apart
To remember why you came to earth and came into my heart.
